Compact dimensions

The derrick radius can be adjusted in a very large range from 9 to 16 metres.

TThe track width of the LR 1500 is 24’11”/ 7.6 meters, and within the 400-ton class range. The standard base plates on the LR 1500 measure 4’11”/ 1.5 meters in width to achieve low ground pressure.

The derrick system on the LR 1500 is also designed for maximum performance with compact dimensions. The derrick boom is 98 ft/ 30 meters in length and the derrick ballast is up to 617,300 lbs/ 280 tons. The derrick radius can be adjusted in a very large range from 30 ft/ 9 m to 53 ft/ 16 m. A minimum derrick radius of just 30 ft/ 9 m is an excellent value for a 500-ton class crawler crane.
